Create a new project when you wish to start a new phase of development. You can create a project from scratch and add items to it afterwards. For details of creating streams, see Creating a Stream.
PRIVILEGES Create Project
To create a new project:
On the Projects tab, click New and select Project.
On the First Page of the New Project dialog box, from the Product list, select the product in which you want to create the project.
For Project name, type a name for the new project.
Select a Type from the list.
For Description, type a description for the new project.
Click Next if you want to update any options or attributes, otherwise click Finish to complete the wizard.
Nothing if you want the project initially to contain no items.
Based on project if you want the new project to be populated with the item revisions from a project. Select the project from the list.
Based on stream if you want the new project to be populated with the item revisions from a stream. Select the stream from the list.
Based on baseline if you want the new project to be populated with the item revisions from a baseline. Select the baseline from the list.
Copy build configuration if you want to copy the build configuration of the Based on project/stream to the new project.
NOTE If the lists of streams or baselines are large, these fields will appear as text boxes with browse buttons, in which case use the browse buttons to select a stream or baseline.
Select any required options on the Options page:
For Project types, select Branch or Do not Branch. It is recommended that you select Do not Branch, and that you use a single assigned branch.
For Change Management Rules, select Use item type settings, Always enabled or Always disabled.
Select Request required to refactor if you want to require the user to provide a request ID when they make refactoring changes to the project.
For details of these options, see About Project Options.
Select Finish if you want to accept the default options for the remainder of the New Project Wizard, otherwise click Next.
Select how you want the deployment of items in this project to be handled:
Select whether the stage of item revisions is "local" to this project/stream or can be affected when their stages are changed in other projects/streams.
If you select Use local stages, the stage of an item revision in this project/stream is not affected as a result of actioning even when stages in the GSL are associated with states in its lifecycle. The stage in this project/stream can only be changed as a result of promoting and demoting.
If you do not select this option, then when the state of an item revision is changed as a result of actioning, its stage in this project/stream will also be changed.
NOTE
• After you have selected this option you cannot deselect it.
• If your project is using the Serena Deployment Automation (SDA) deployment model, this option is always on.
Click Next if you want to update any named branches or attributes, otherwise click Finish to complete the wizard.
From the Valid Branches list, select branches to which future revisions in this project may be assigned.
If you want to select a branch as the default, select it from the Default branch list.
Click Next if you want to update any attributes, otherwise click Finish to complete the wizard.
Enter any required attributes on the Attributes page.
Click Finish.
